[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 593664, member: 2308"] And the result could have been better. We run cattle in 3 different pastures, 1 we own, 1 we rent and the other is Community Pasture (govt run). On the pasture we own we had 70 pair and 30 heifers. 2 cows were dry and 3 heifers. On the one we rent, we had 14 cows and 11 heifers, had 5 cows and 1 heifer dry, but the cows were pretty old and/or late calvers, and the bull decided he didn't want to be around. But, in the Community Pasture we had 40 cows, ended up with 10 dry and 7 late (May). Not sure what was going on with the CP cows, they were mostly 3rd and 4th calvers, vaccinated like the rest of the herd, and I just can't think of a reason for them to be any different than the rest of the herd. So tomorrow, we will take about 23 cows to town. 1 of course had to come down with pinkeye a few days ago, and since we had to treat her she gets to wait until the withdrawl is over. With the cost of feed, and the fact that we are needing to cut down on the herd size this winter, the late girls are heading to town too. Right now bred cow prices are around $600-$700 and no-one is interested in late calvers, they are selling for even less than the dry cows are...... [/QUOTE]
